word on the street
Working with Yellow Door Collective has been a breath of fresh air. From their passionate, committed and on the ball team to their creative ideas and focus to genuinely support you in the best way, it's been just what I needed to take my coaching business to the next level.
YDC has 360 degree expert knowledge all under one roof, from holistic strategy, design and branding, to social media and identifying speaking opportunities for me.
- Tammy Godsall, Happiness Coach, 2018
YDC has proved themselves to be creative and out-of-the box thinkers. We consider them our strategic partner in ensuring the most relevant and share worthy social media content is available on the right channels, at the right time.
- Andre Jansen, @home, 2017
Over the past three years we have seen sales increase by more than 50%. Although hard to quantify,a significant part of this increase can be attributed to the professional implementation of a social media strategy and a website that is modern, informative and most importantly, kept current. The dynamic YDC team is really passionate about their role in my business and continue to come up with creative ideas and concepts. They are constantly updating our online strategy and are on trend with the very latest concepts.
- Chris Parsley, owner Da Vincis on Kloof, 2015
It was an absolute pleasure working with Yellow Door – Their professionalism and efficiency in getting our new website launched made the process seamless and stress-free for us. And the feedback we have received on our new website has been great! All in all, a great experience and great finished product.
— Lauren le Roux, project manager Wembley Square, 2016
YDC have helped us immensely to get on track with our social media marketing – something we have battled to do in-house due to skill level and time constraints. The joint talent in their team continually ensures all areas are covered and I would highly recommend their professional services to anyone.
- Quinton Sole, founder HQM Properties, 2016
The YDC team has been a great help for us -- we have increased our bookings and gained a lot of exposure in only six months. It is a pleasure working with the YDC team, as they are extremely responsive and do an amazing job. When we were too busy to focus on important fields in our industry they stepped in and got it done. I can only recommend YDC, and Surf Lodge South Africa is extremely satisfied. Thank you YDC, we appreciate your great work.
- Toby Schroeder, owner Surf Lodge SA, 2016
Our relationship with YDC started about a year ago when we won a competition. The work they produced for us made such a great impact to how we operated that we continue to use their excellent services today. You won’t find a company that is more caring, knowledgeable, passionate, and meticulous in what they do. A huge thank you to Emma, Dom, and their team for continued hard work which has enabled our success!
– Courtney Chase, Chairperson of Ari’s Cancer Foundation, 2016
In my quest to take my newly established company online, Yellow Door Collective came to the rescue and provided a professional and flawless process from start to finish. I am really impressed with the website design and layout they have selected following our meeting together. I can highly recommend this professional team to take your company’s image to the next level.
– Sean Newbery, owner Green Space, 2016
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your team for all of your efforts over the last few months. The conference this weekend was a massive success and a lot of this came down to our branding, online presence, and conference website. We were all really impressed with the final overall look and feel of the design, which corresponded perfectly with theme. And the live Twitter / Facebook updates over the weekend were the perfect final touch that we hadn’t even thought about. Thank you for your patience and flexibility with our multiple changes – I know we weren’t always very easy to work with and you went to extra lengths because of the time difference!
- Amandine Lobelle, organiser African Development Conference at Harvard, 2015
We had an urgent job to do, creation of a website, logo and marketing campaign from scratch, and they beat our deadline with a great product!
- Adrian Dommisse, founder Sky Law, 2015
